Bread crumbs…something you’ll need to cook in your kitchen at some point…

…what a pain in the booty to have to run to the store and buy a container of bread crumbs. Especially when you can easily make them in your own kitchen from scratch in less time than running to the store and back to buy them.

You may use whatever type of bread you prefer or whatever you may have at home. Savory & sweet breads can work well too. You may use stale bread, day old bread or fresh bread.
